Tried to look up in the archives, and I was just wondering....Is there a difference between JDM and USDM rear hatch?

 

i dont think the jdm had the rear whipper.

 

the emblems on them are different. Other than that i dont think so.

 

I think the glass is different also. I believe it's smoked or something.

 

No rear wiper, no rear window defroster...

 

No wiper, thinner smoked glass. about 1-2 kg lighter.

 

Mine has no rear wiper but its got a defroster (thankfully....)

 

I thought they didn't have them...maybe only certain years?

 

Why would they have no rear defroster. I would crash into mad **** if i didnt have one.

 

Same reason they have no A/C...it's a race car.

 

Yeah but what if it is really cold on the track, and you can't defrost the rear hatch?

 

Wipe it down.

 

I believe the defroster was optional just like A/C and airbags.
Also the smoked rear qtr and rear hatch glass is normally optional and was part of comfort packages. I believe the rear wiper and defroster and smoke glass was part of that package. Though unless you never drove the car in the winter I would want defroster in Japan as it does snow in the winters there.

 

My friend just bought a JDM rear hatch, it has the tinted glass but no wiper.

 

How much do they go for?

 

Any company make one out of lexan

 

If you want light hatch just get lexan rear glass made by J's racing.

 

Is that unsafe in anyway? I would be interested...
